I’ll Be Okay: Learning to Cope With Life’s Uncertainties

“So I will control what I will control and let my path be undefined for now.”

Are you at a point in your life where you’re unsure of what the future has to hold? Are you questioning and wondering who it is you are and who you are supposed to be? What does life have in store for you and what direction should you take in order to achieve what fate has decided? New Age Creator‘s video “taking life one step ahead” described Chase’s perspective on how to approach life when these questions suffocate you with worry and mystery.

Life is constantly changing and growing is just a part of it. It is absolutely impossible to shape your life exactly how you want things to go, because the unknown and feeling of not knowing is simply a part of life that we have to accept. Looking back at your own life, there will be many moments of regrets, happiness and sheer confusion. For some, the teenage years were full of angst, awkwardness, insecurity and overall a sense of emerging self-disovery. Trust that every experience and version of yourself that you have encountered are all leading up to this very moment and all of the future moments that you will face. The future is out there and it’s brighter than you can imagine. 

“So despite what the future has to hold, I know that I’ll be okay.”
